Even though my diet didn't change, I got more running in during my two crossfit workouts. That gave me the cardio boost I needed. Thursday…

Just over 2 pounds lost this week! YEA! I didn't manage any extra workouts besides the two crossfit visits, but we did extra running during those for a greater calorie deficit this week overall. IIFYM is doing well. Ate some yummy protein banana pancakes this week! GOALS 107 days (15 weeks) 7.49 monthly 2 pounds weekly .28…

The IIFYM diet is going well. I can't believe I am losing weight eating around 1400 calories daily. It feels good to be able to eat…

A bit behind my weekly goal, but one pound a week is nothing to be ashamed of. I plan to sneak in a couple more workouts during the week. That will get me back on track. I am doing well with IIFYM. I am happy with the volume of healthy foods I have been eating. Finally, a diet where I don't have to starve myself! I bought…

Hello there! My name is Michelle. I am a 42 year old married lady who watched too much Netflix. I would love to lose 30 pounds by June 30th. This will be an aggressive goal for me, but I will try my best. I have already taken a good look at my macros and adjusted them based on my goals (high protein low carb). I will…

I cheated a couple times (booze), but nothing too horrible. This week was also my TOM. All things considered, I will pretty well! This week, I will focus on more water,…

Please read my profile and send an introductory message before adding me. Looking for those my own age who track food on MFP every day. I rarely "complete" my diary and I never post my exercise. I…

Stepped on the scale to get a starting weight this morning. 5 lbs lost is my modest goal. I would like to lose 1.5 lbs a week or more. 8 lbs lost is my high goal.

LOVE me some coffee! I stop after my first big mug in the morning. I like mine with a little splenda and skim milk. I count on the laxative effect. When I am on a strict diet, coffee is the only thing that keeps my system moving.

Others have already said Pure Protein. I love Chocolate Deluxe! I can fool myself into thinking I am eating something more decadent.

I need this challenge! I have a trip coming up in July. Perfect timing! I am going to have to buckle down and set a goal to lose around 2.5 pounds each week. I am joining the summer group weight loss challenge at my gym to give myself extra motivation. I am looking forward to a fresh start! I will weigh in tomorrow and…

I gained this week. I worked hard for weeks just to shed a few pounds. The moment I slip, all that effort has gone to waste in a matter of days. WHYYYYY??? :( Probably not gonna make my goal by Easter, but I will keep trying!

Hugging close friends and having them exclaim how "tiny" I am! I only lost 12 pounds. 17 more to go! It's the little things.

Wow! This is so encouraging! So happy to see someone in the over 40 club like myself who is happy and healthy. You showed me it can be done! Way to go!

@pike83 Thanks! Yep, I do have to keep reminding myself of that. I am practicing good habits. It will get done.

I am going to wait till next Friday to post my weigh in. My new scale is off by two pounds. Grrr... (It really is the scale. I swear!)

Hello! My name is Michelle. I am late getting on this challenge bandwagon, but I am hitting the ground running! I have a lofty goal of losing 21 pounds by Easter. This means a loss of .35 pounds per day, 2.62 pounds per week, and 10.5 pounds per month. With proper diet, fitness, and sleep, I think it will be possible. I…

Count me in! I will post stats tomorrow. LETS DO THIS!

I see your abs in both pics. Granted, no six pack yet, but you are sooo close! Way to go!

Age: 41 Height: 5'8" HW: 170 CW: 165 GW: 135 Any tall gals out there? I have been told that I carry my weight well. I am enjoying HIIT classes at the gym. I am paying close attention to my macros for the first time in my life and finally seeing results! Tummy is slowly disappearing!
